The Kahane and Janover families, here with Rabbi Goldsmith, celebrate Shabbat and Chanukah at Temple Emanu-El before leaving for Israel. They help light the candles, bless the wine and challah, and receive a blessing for a good trip. |
Please check back often to follow our progress around the Land of Israel as we learn its history, meet its people and immerse ourselves in the birthplace of our people. You’ll read first-hand accounts of our adventures from the trip participants, as well as see photos and follow links to Web sites about the places we visit.
